Cuba Will Lose Venezuela

It's Key Ally Will Be Missed!!

     The world waits now to see if U. S. President Donald Trump will start or will prevent a raging Latin American War pitting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro against Venezuelan President Juan Guaido. Most of the world, including Canada, supports the USA position backing Guaido while Cuba, Russia, China, Mexico, and Turkey are among the countries supporting Maduro, who also at the moment has the support of the strong Venezuelan military that has been updated recently by Russia. The U. S. State Department has informed the Federal Reserve that Guaido is the agent for access to Venezuelan assets in U. S. banks. And it is known that if the U. S. acts militarily in Venezuela it would begin with the U. S. Southern Command out of Colombia. Also known is the fact that eager war-mongers in the Trump administration are watching intently for any Maduro reaction that could be used as a pretext, or excuse, for a U.S.-led military solution. With Maduro now cornered and boxed in, war seems inevitable as the U. S. waits to see if the Venezuelan military forces will turn against Maduro and finish him off.

    Photos like this from Venezuela indicate conclusively that President Nicolas Madura's days are numbered, and not just because United States President Donald Trump Wednesday recognized Madura's prime opponent, Juan Guaido, as the new Venezuelan President. There are enough Venezuelans who agree with that non-election movement. Additionally, unbiased nations like Canada agree with it, not to mention the Lima Group of twelve significant nations. That fact solidifies the denouement for Madura and surely something had to evolve in oil-rich but bankrupt Venezuela. But the Madura-to-Guaido turmoil threatens to ignite conflagrations the likes of which Latin America has never known and which America has never known in its own backyard. But without support from nations like Canada and from the Lima Group, America's reputations for regime-changes in Latin America involving democratically elected Presidents, from 1953 in Guatemala till deep into the 1970s in Chile, would have meant that Trump's United States of America as the main broker in changing Venezuela's government would not have been acceptable.

     But the worst thing, I believe, related to the Latin American-Caribbean fireworks that will evolve from this week onward is having the back-stabbing/back-patting Little Choirboy from Little Havana dictating Latin American policy to America's seriously harassed President and Commander-in-Chief, who needs all the support he can muster, including from a handful of anti-Cuban zealots from Miami. When an extremely greedy, awesomely biased one-trick-pony like Marco Rubio can dictate Latin American/anti-Cuban policy to President Trump, the ramifications will likely be far more widespread and bloodier than they need to be and would be if more intelligent and less biased individuals...such as true statesmen...were the decision-makers.

     The Voice of America spread the above photo around the world January 24th to point out that 40 years ago President Jimmy Carter used diplomacy to normalize relations with China. Mr. Carter was probably America's all-time most decent President and also possibly the most intelligent. Thus, considering his unsavory political enemies and untimely events such as the Iran hostage situation, Mr. Carter was only a one-term President. By contrast, because of the Bush dynasty's tight, self-serving ties to Miami's Counter Revolutionary Cubans, George W. Bush was a two-term President.

     This, too, is a Voice of America photo that reminds us of the Coming Chaos that will engulf America, Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, the Caribbean, and Latin America...and perhaps the world. January 24th the Venezuelan military announced support for beleaguered President Nicolas Madura; and Russia, which has greatly updated the Venezuelan military, warned the U. S. against mounting a coup in Venezuela to please the anti-Cuba USA Cubans and to "take control of Venezuela's oil." Venezuela, as both Russia and China well know, has the world's largest known oil reserves.

      President Donald Trump and his National Security Adviser John Bolton are in stark contrast, of course, to the decency of President Carter. Every peace-lover and democracy-lover in Washington cringed when Trump anointed Bolton, infamously known to be a scary war-monger, as a key adviser. On January 24th Venezuelan President Madura ordered U. S. diplomats out of the country. Bolton then bragged that the U. S. diplomats would stay and he dared Madura to harm them. During George W. Bush's two terms as President, Bolton famously searched for excuses to persuade Bush to attack Cuba, once claiming openly that Cuba was a nuclear threat to the USA. It is presumed Bolton is now searching for excuses to attack Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. The VOA photos that remind us of diplomacy 40 years ago and chaos now are very ominous.

     Yes, it is common knowledge that John Bolton desperately tried to persuade President George W. Bush to attack Cuba. In 2019 it appears that Bolton is having more success in persuading President Trump to attack Cuba...while also throwing in regime-changes in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. If war-mongers like Bolton accomplish those goals, Americans for generations will likely be paying, in green dollars and red blood, for the aftermaths that will surely follow...such as endless guerrilla-style warfare.

     But the Little Choirboy from Little Havana remains the chief architect of the shift from Obama decency to Trump lunacy regarding America's Cuba Policy. It is, as everyone in Washington knows, Marco Rubio who has surrounded Trump with prime anti-Cuba war-mongers -- including Western Hemisphere boss Mauricio Claver-Caron, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and, of course, National Security Adviser John Bolton. As has already happened, expect Rubio to be all over the U. S. television networks bragging about his part in the upcoming chaos in Latin America...and beyond. As a dangerous, self-serving politician, Rubio is a joke but even the left-wing media trying so hard to impeach Trump is much too afraid of the Miami Cubans to hold Rubio accountable for anything he does or says...the same Rubio that Washington's best investigative journalist, Ken Silverstein, says "is head and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery." Now when you consider that people like Senator Bob Menendez and National Security boss John Bolton are in Washington, ponder what Ken Silverstein's depiction of Marco Rubio REALLY MEANS.
